This is a podcast from Rover. Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Coming up in today's show, Steph ruined her hotness in front of some quite attractive tradey men by doing something that was, Harrison and I both agree, was quite a big ache.

Yeah, very icky, very icky. Yes, but then off air, Harrison confessed that he, this happens to him quite often. Not quite often. He said frequently, No way. Also, Harrison... It's not water from a hose.

You'll understand in a second listener. But it's from sweat. No. No. Harrison's quite hung over today. Not only did he abuse a service worker, which we get into, but also he embarrassed himself at the staff party last night. Yes, pretty bad.

And Steph's got a shit car, people complaining about it at work. And who can you give Andy's two for Christmas? Oh, yes. Actually, important list. Important public service announcement, that one, actually. Great show today. Great show. You're Ravos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. So this morning, guys, I was walking my dog, went down to the beach with him, had a lovely old time, and I was walking back up the hill, back home. When I saw in the distance these four guys who had like a big moving truck with them, and I could tell instantly that they'd just finished whatever they were moving in. I think they were like a staging company. Oh, yeah. And, um, like a, you know, like when a house is for sale and it's empty and then you get like pretend furniture in.

Oh, yeah, like stage, like for concerts, like a stage in time, but they make stages. No, no, why were they putting a stage in their house for? Yeah, no, so like couches and beds and stuff, so it looks real fencing and things. So it was one of those kind of moving trucks. Oh. And so these four guys, I think they've just finished whatever they were doing because they were walking from that towards the beach. Um, probably finished for the day or their morning job and they were all. a little bit, like, sweaty, and you get, like,

they were big, burly, musly guys. Like, obviously, like, moving furniture for a living, you know? Sweat? Yeah, like, they'd just been working. Shirts off or on? On. Four of them. And they were walking towards me, and I was walking up the hill towards them.

How much hair do they have in their bodies? Not much. Silky smooth. All right. Now, I reckon I was looking all right. I was in my athleisure gear, you know? little tight leggings and little crop top you know not crop crop top but like a little little bit of skin you know a little bit of cleave oh and my dog was there yeah he's very

cute he's very cute so he would definitely would have got their attention but I thought I think I you know I'm looking all right I got a little bit of a strut about man you've seen four hot guys you're looking quite good and uh so I'm walking towards them and then I really moments before at the beach I used the hose to wipe to get rid of all the sand so my footwear of choice today were crocs so walking towards these hot-ass guys

and I thought I was looking really good and that's when I've suddenly aware of the sound that my shoes were making squeaking and I flipped my phone into record and this was what they walked past that's a massive act massive a wet crock

the sound that a wet crook makes is one of the grossest sounds on the planet they would have just thought shit she got clammy feet and it was so loud that audio doesn't even do it justice

it was like I was farting with every step sludge sludge Sludge. What colour are your crocs? Purple. Do they have gibbets? Yes. Oh, okay.

It's worse. So my question to you guys is, do you think that that ick is like enough to make them think that I wasn't hot anymore? Yes. Yeah, yeah, 100%. Damn it! A squidgy crock is one of the grossest sounds you can hear.

It's the worst. Okay. All right. Hey, look. You win some you lose some. Do they look down when you're warm? No, they look. walk past me and they go, hi dog.

And Larry got all the attention. And I was just like, morning, guys. Oh, Steve. Your Arvose Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Huge night last night, guys.

Company Christmas party. Mm-hmm. Great time. Sean, you didn't come, no, sorry. We were at a Christmas party. Yeah, a different Christmas party. But you were also there. But it was your first Christmas party for this company.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we were worried. about you because we thought one of us might have a disciplinary meeting today. You behave yourself. I, yeah, I actually been trying to avoid the boss today. Haven't bummed in to do him yet. Because he's a bit worse for wear today as well. He is, ain't.

He's literally sitting his desk all over with his head and his hands. It's all he's doing. I've never seen him like this. So it was a dress-up party last night. And the theme was every department here in the building had to kind of dress the same, like a team theme. And our theme was 101 Dalmatian. So we were all dogs.

And our boss was Crewella DeVille. So if you can imagine. this guy in as, well, how what, 40? I don't want to. Oh, doesn't look at a early 40s? Don't look at a 30, sir? In the most, in the tightest Cruel de Ville dress you've ever seen. Show on, you know, bits and pieces.

It was quite, it was quite full on. Yeah, it was great. Incredible. It was a great, it was a great time. It was a great party. Lots of dramas, gosh. Really? Yeah.

Like what? This company's insane. Oh, my God. So much scandal. Oh, Mike's off for that one. Yeah, I thought everyone was in relationships. No, no, no. I do not think so.

what was going on last night. Whoa. But yeah, big night. I loved it. Woke up this morning pretty bad. Like, they were... I'm not endorsing drinking, guys. Don't drink.

Terrible for you. I woke up pretty bad today. I reckon I get four bad hangovers a year. This was one of those four. Oh, okay. I was like, jeez, man. Hit me like a bus. So every time I've had a night out,

I always go and walk to a cafe. Just a local cafe. So I woke up, probably 6 a.m. Started walking. Yeah, I wake up really. early as well with him. Had a couple drinks. Me too. Why is that? Is it the sugar? Because you feel sick.

There's science behind it. I don't know what it is. Always like it early. And so I've ordered this cafe and got, I've just, just before I tell the story, before I sound like I do we, just know, I've been through a lot. What, last night? Yeah, a lot of drinks. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm not, I'm not feeling good.

Yeah. Sunny's on, hoodie up. I look terrible. Gotcha. I walked to this cafe, lovely little cafe. Cabinet food. Oh, heaven. and finally get there. I'm sweating, I'm shaking. I'm going to need something.

I see a beautiful bacon and egg buddy in there. It's a little bacon egg buddy. Got up to the counter, to the girl, and I say, hey, can I please have the bacon and egg? You know, the, and she stands there. Confused her as going, the what? You know, the bacon and egg, the thing is, I don't know what you're trying to say.

There's only one bacon and anything in the cabinet. And I can't find it. I'm like, you know, over there, Like, the baking and egg, it's like, it's in a bun. She's in a bun, no, I can't even. I'm like, the bacon and egg, the thing that's in that. She's like, no, I don't know. I was like, oh my gosh.

And I walk over. I was like, the bacon and egg pre-osh. And she goes, oh, yeah, you should have just said. Literally. And then I flip a switch and I say, God, you think I fucking work here. You swore at her? Yeah. You swore at hospitality stuff?

I said, God, you'd think God worked here. Harrison, you've been in hospitality before. You know it sucks when people are in room. No, but I was just a bit hung over. No, there's no excuse. Imagine going, oh, you know the bacon and he but. There's only one of them.

She's going, no, go to have fun. I got to say the right name. It's not a game, lady. It's not a game. I just want the one baking thing in the cabinet. So, yeah, sign me up. Boss, where's your boss? Bring it out here.

I'm going to sign up. I should work here. Do you know what's crazy? I'm going to take your side on this one. I knew you would. I hate when companies make me use their fake words. I went to a burger. No, I'll name and chain them.

Burger Burger the other day. And I want a burger and I was like, can I have lettuce instead of the bun? They're like, do you mean bonnus? And I said, no, I don't mean bonnus instead of the bun. I actively avoided trying to say the word bunnus because I thought it was an embarrassing thing to say. You've got to say bonnus. I don't have to say bonnets.

They're just winding us up. Aren't they ever? And when we hang over, man, they like to push. I think I need to introduce you guys to yoga and meditation. Worst thing was, bacon and egg pre-oche. Never put a pre-oche bound with bacon and egg. Disgast. Yeah, because it's very savour and very sweet.

So gross. Yeah, no, not a good mox. Yeah. Oh, mate. Well, I'm glad you made it to us today with your bacon and egg brioche. Thank you. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

And this is the part of the show where Harrison will tell us a theme of something that he's going to do coming up, and we'll help him with some social cues. Yes, no, maybe. I don't know So guys we did our office Christmas party last night Sean you weren't there No, wasn't Steph you were there for 45 minutes

Correct Yeah So But you guys should be proud of me I went The event went for hours I know but I don't normally go So it's good

That's good That's good to you showed up And so today's thing Theme is things I did last night At the Christmas party Because you guys weren't there So I'm going to run past you some scenarios of what I legit did And you guys just say yes, no, maybe whether you think that was appropriate or not

This makes me nervous because you were representing us Yeah You were representing me and Steph when you were there At the Christmas party in front of all the higher-ups here, all the suits All the other radio stations Well, we already let them down because one of the three-person show was only there Yeah, yes And then we let them down again

Because it was me who was the only one there Well, it depends on what you've done Yeah, well, we'll go through things. Okay, first one I did. Went up to everyone and said something I liked about them. That's nice. That's really good. Everyone?

Or maybe missed a handful of people. But everyone said, oh, I love your hair. Oh, I love your outfit. Oh, I love your work. Oh. They might have thought you were on drugs. That's a beautiful, positive way to approach talking to somebody. So yes?

Yeah. That's great. So I'll take these for next time, you know, all these stuff that we go through. Do you want to give Sean and I hours now? He should have been there last night. The second one, oh, this was fun. Body shots. Okay, elaborate.

So, a boss had been laid in the bar, bought a bit of whiskey and he was about him and a shot it up. Body shots. Um, a bit of work function. I don't know if that's totally above board. But it's fine, because he did too much to drink, so he kind of passed out at that point.

Then I'd go no. It's a non-consenting body shots. Pretty funny, though. I've got some good videos of it. Uh, write that one down as no. Okay. Let people go in front of me in the line for the bathroom. Oh, that's very generous.

That's pretty good, eh? Yeah, I think so. It's kind of weird because then you're just hanging out around the bathroom. Nah, because you go? Like, after the third, you go, what are you doing that? No, I was such a habit. I was like, oh, you go, yep, you can go in front of me. I couldn't help myself.

You're just too nice. That's quite nice, eh? Okay, yeah, I guess. Yeah, sweet. All right. Streaked from one end of the bar to the other. Just a quick streak, bit of a laugh. Naked?

Yeah, it's tub, we'll leave between my leaves and ran. Um, funny. Not all good, man. Not for a Christmas party. Were you still naked when you were in the bathroom inviting everyone to go in front of you? No, no, it was just, I took the close off street, put them up again. Well, if it's a little quick streak. I think maybe. Yeah, right, maybe. It's not too bad.

Maybe, sure. Keep putting people on a headlock. Were they wanting it? No. Then no. I couldn't hear because their voice is hitting the floor on either of them in a headlock. Yeah, I go no. Okay, no.

Did you give them a nogie? No, just headlocks. No, still not. Yeah, okay. Tap dance on the bar, bring my tap shoes. On the bar? Yeah. Wow. It's a expensive bar where they went.

It was pretty fun though. Everyone had like clapped around me into the bead and everything. It was really good. Damn, that does sound like a moment I'm gutted I missed out of. You should have been there for that. I'm going to go, yeah, that sounds fun. Okay, next one. Took off my tap shoe and used it as a weapon to threaten people to buy me a drink.

Because they're quite sharp tap blades on the bottom? Tap blades? Tap blades. Is that what they're called? Yeah, tap blades. Cute. I'm going to say no. Nah.

No shanked, violence, sweet-ass. Drink piss. What do you mean? I think he means alcohol. I'm going to say yes. No, mine. Yeah, I thought that was the case. But it was funny.

No. Okay, last one I did. Got a loan from my dad for some drinks, but lied and said the money was for a doctor's appointment since I had a health scare. I didn't have a health scare, but I need the money for some drinks. It's a big no from me. Big no? No.

Just a flag I would love you guys to be the next year Yeah, we'll be the next year I think we should I think so I think you need us yeah Your Avos hit harder With Sean, Steph and Harrison

The Edge The Edge 5 star fact This is the part of the show Where I bring a fact You rated out of 5 stars Judges Harrison, Steph and Shirley in Auckland Bloody welcome to the show

Shirley you legend Hi, thank you so much Oh my God, hi Hi Hi Julie I'm sorry I love your energy, Shirley. Happy Friday. All right, we've got a job right now,

and that is the three of us have to listen to Sean's fact. Everyone's going to be listening, but we're going to be judging it. Five stars is the dream rating that Sean wants, just like the old Uber rating, but it's quite tricky to get it, okay? Well, it's not that tricky. You just rate it at five stars.

It's like, what are you do with an Uber? No, no. If it's a good ride, it's a good fact, five stars. We'll see. Now, Shirley, they had to pick a path. They could choose between a Harry Potter fact in a secure fact that have opted for a Harry Potter. Do you agree with that?

I think so, yes. Harry Potter sounds great. Today's five-star fact is. Before finally being accepted, J.K. Rowling's original Harry Potter pitch was rejected by 12 publishers. Wow. 12. It became the highest selling book of the decade,

but 12 people said no to it. And I think if you're going into the weekend, And you're like, man, I keep failing at this thing I love. Have you failed 12 times? Because you might just succeed. It reminds me of the Lady Gaga, a star of spawn moment, when she was saying there could be 100 people in the room and 99 of them don't believe in you.

And one person believes in you. And that one person for me, Lady Gaga, was you, Bradley Cooper. Do you remember that moment? And she said in almost every single interview at the time. No. It could be 99 people in the room. Gee, I remember seeing lots of clips of it. Yeah, there are 100 people in the room, and 99 people don't believe.

Anyway, Shirley, I feel like you've been a little bit blown away by this fact. Twelve people rejected Harry Potter before it was finally picked up. What are you going to rate this out of five? Oh, 100%. And I think with the adding on of it being such an inspirational thing, I'm going to give it a solid five. Yeah. Absolutely. That's what I'm here today.

So, thanks, guy. That's a great fact. Wow. Shirley's into it. Good attitude, Shirley. Good attitude. Sean, I've got two, three words. Okay, brace yourself here.

So this is going to be peak millennial. Okay, here we go. Wingardium Liviosa, five. Oh, it's a Harry Potter reference. It's a spell. Yeah, right. It means when you levitate things. Okay.

And he got the highest mark five. Yeah. All the way up there's. I think of two fives. fun. Here we go. Sean, I like the fact. I do really like the fact.

I think it's very impressive. It's very inspiring. The only thing that grasped this fact is Jake and Rowling. Oh, yeah. Quite a controversial woman. Yeah, she's a bit transphobic.

Extremely. And so it's a really good story, but it's her. So it's going to be a four. Oh, I'm sorry, Sean. I'm sorry. Anybody else? Steven Spielberg, Quidd and Tarantino, I don't know, Judy Deitch. Harvey Weinstein.

No, not Harvey. I'll get that in four. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. Sure, not today. Well, thanks for being part of it, Shirley. I'm going to hook you up with a double past our Mussie movie as well, which is Zootopia 2. Thank you so much for having me.

I love you guys. You're amazing. Golly. Golly. I'll chat with you every day. You're a legend, mate. I love your work. Now, it's Black Friday today.

It's a lot of sales going on. And a lot of people encouraging you to use these sales to buy Christmas presents. Yeah. Oh, yeah, clever. That feels like a smart move, doesn't it? Oh, yes. I saw one ad today, which I caught my eye a little bit. It was Calvin Klein, was advertising undies.

And I was like, oh, yeah, good thing to buy on Black Friday. You know, undies never really go on sale. Farmers, you know, every now and then. And it says, give undies this Christmas. That was the rad. Give undies this Christmas. And I started thinking about it I was like, can you, can you give undies

at Christmas? And who can you give undies to at Christmas time? Because I feel like the grounds can be a little murky. Oh, absolutely. I would say there's more people you can't give undies to than can. Yeah, it depends on the type of undies as well. Yeah. You know, if you're a, if you're a woman out there

and your father's buying your four pack of G-banggers, probably not the most appropriate thing to have on Christmas. But I'd also say, if you're a father out there, buying any kind of underwear for a daughter would be weird. Sometimes it's essential stuff. There's an age cut off.

If you've left home, it's inappropriate. Yeah. Langerie. Yeah. Langerie, you might want to get to your daughter because you may want grandchildren. What's the difference? What?

Well, you might give, as a father, you might give lingerie to your daughter because you want her to create with the partner so you can have grandchildren. Do you honestly think that's why? I still say I don't say it's right. All I'll say is now I have a niece and nephew. Thanks to my father, thanks to my sister.

Giving, are you, okay, hold the phone. Are you saying that Tom, and I've met Tom, he's a lovely man. Yes. Are you saying that your father, Tom, gave your oldest sister lingerie? Yes. For Christmas. Just a little silver number. Just a little silver number.

Just the sole purpose of procreation. Yes, and now he's got two grandchildren. It's bizarre. I don't know if Tom is going to want you to say this. It's quite beautiful. And you think about it's quite beautiful. That is outrageous So I'm going to run through a list

I'll come up with some different people I'll just throw them out to you You guys tell me appropriate to buy them undies for Christmas off Okay Your partner Yes Okay

Good to do that one Someone you're secretly having an affair with Yes Yeah if it's an affair Is that inappropriate I shouldn't encourage it No we're not An affair is the worst thing ever

Yes Family destroying However if you are doing that Then I would say it's a very appropriate gift Same gender sibling. Yes. Okay. Opposite gender sibling?

No. No. My ex gave. My ex, her brother, brought her undies for Christmas. Really? And they were spicy? Gee bangers. Nah, laces.

Oh, that's, yeah. That is not true. Is that true? True. So, was everyone unwrap? wrapping presents like communal kind of like under the tree Christmas morning. Yeah. And then she unwraps her present from her brother and it's lacy underwear.

Who's this from? Oh, me. Oh, thanks, bro. I'm going, what is happening in this house? Did she not question it? No, I was like, babe, did you find that quite weird? And she goes, no, it's just undies. Get over her.

Do you have the kind of sexy undies? Oh, no. Every time. No, no. I think about her brother. Literally, literally, honestly, whenever I saw her in them, I was like, oh, it's like your brother. Oh, no.

All right, keep going that this is the list after I saw a Calvin Klein ad saying give undies this Christmas of who you can give undies and who you can't. Mum and Dad, yes. Same gender. I'd say both yes. Because you're not getting them sexy underwear, are you? The appearance are you getting them like a five pack of Rios from. Yeah. Dads just don't look after themselves, right?

Like every dad needs under we bought for them unfortunately. Like they're so useless. So I feel like, yeah, it's fine. Okay. Same sex co-worker. So, Harrison, you buy me undies, Steph, maybe, interned Lily, who's the producer, both, you guys, buy,

like, you know, same-sex co-worker. What are your thoughts? Lily, what are your thoughts? Nah. I would say, I would say yes on one condition, if it's a conversation we've had. And I'm like, Lily, oh my God, these undies that I have is amazing.

I'm going to get you some. I'm for it. Like, if you're looking out for me, like a big sister, like, I've got you girl. Yeah. Absolutely. But if it's a surprise, spontaneous out of the blue, oh, got you some knickers.

It's like, oh, nah. Weird. Opposite gender co-worker? Yes, fine. Totally acceptable. Your child's teacher. No. No. Yes.

No, no, no. Okay. Well, first we'll figure out the list. It's partner and people are having affairs with. And your dad. That's it. That's it. That's it.

Okay. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Now, our producer, a producer, Nirst Sam, who's usually with us, is taking the day off today. And we've got back a producer who used to work for the show, interned Little Lill. Hey, welcome. Hey, big time, Lulu. Yeah, no, I don't know. It's welcome to myself.

Now, Lily, if you are a new listen to this show, she has a story for everything. Every topic that comes up in conversation, like off you're in the office and meetings and stuff. You're incredible at being able to pick moments from your life and relate it to whatever we're talking about. You've got a story for everything. Yeah, but is it necessary? Yes. Probably not all the time. No, no, not always necessary, but you do have stories.

We love them, we love them. So we're going to test this theory that do you really have a story for every topic with our wheel of topics? In front of you, how many have we got, like, 16 or something? Yeah. We've got a wheel of 16 topics. And we're going to spin it and whatever it lands on. Listeners, trust us. We guarantee Lily will have a great yarn for whatever it lands on.

Yeah. And that will be true story, not even be made up. No. Exciting. Some might be more extreme than others. Some might just be a little. Just a little to bit. Just a little to bit.

Okay. Are you ready? Spin the wheel, Steph. Oh, God, that was a terrible spook. I want to put it on the mics. You can hear it. Oh, nice. Oh, no.

There's so many on there. Okay, Lily. Yeah. Do you have a story about getting stuck in a hole? Um, kind of. Like a mud run? So, yeah. It's a hole.

It's a hole. I, like, this one time, it was like my to 10 mega mud run. And it was a huge thing in Hawksbane. Everyone, like, all the kids got. around it and this little girl got stuck in this mud and I bet like piggybacked her the rest of the way through the obstacle course and I made it into the newspaper for helping this girl and her name was Ruby and she was so was so cute and my mum's like plastered it all over Facebook you're a newspaper for helping someone literally who was stuck in a hole I mean come on you

can't make this stuff up here we're serious okay spin the wheel Okay, here we go. Oh, my God, I'm so excited. Okay, Lily, do you have a story from your life about eating at a buffet? Yeah. What is that place called Valentinas or Valentine's? Valentine's. Valentine's.

Valentines. With all my family and I just remember eating the pancakes. And I've never been back since, but it's just such a cool memory. I always go to mum. What's that place again that we had that whole buffet? It was for my auntie's birthday. She was like Valentinas. Yeah.

And then I think it was like, did you go there? Yeah, a few months ago, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, okay, it must have not that been that. That's a thing about a buffing. It's never quite how you remember. When I was five, ice creams and pancakes, absolutely. And you leave with the jelly beans? Yeah.

Yeah, great, all right. Nice low, nice loo. There we go. Spinning the wheel. Final story, Lil, it's landed on. Oh, getting a black eye. Yep, broke my nose. Of course you do.

I actually, in uni, put dishwashing liquid on the ground. Please don't do that. Then had a little bit of a tug-of-war. And face-planded broke my nose. Black eye, had to go to a ball the next day and try to cover her up with makeup and send a selfie to my mum. She was like, are you all good? And I was like, sorry, yeah, no, I've broken my nose,

but I'm just like getting on the piss tonight, so it's fun. This is like everyone going to a bull's worst nightmare that the night before you'd break your nose. But like, this guy kind of broke it. So then everyone was giving him shit and was like, oh my God, Lily, like this is so funny. And I was like, oh, yeah, whatever. Anyway, it's fine now. Lily, little, ladies and gentlemen, with another edition of Little Lil'il's little yarn.

I love it. She has a story for everything. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Rover.
